2008 Surfside Marathon

The only Marathon and Half Marathon in the US run entirely on a beach! Scenic Surfside Beach Marathon starts as the sun rises over the water and follows the public beach to San Luis pass, then returns. The entire course is on the firm, smooth sand of the beach. Much of the beach is pristine and undeveloped. The race begins and ends at the Stahlman Park pavilion, on the beach. Start time for both marathon and half is 8AM, Sat. Feb. 9 2008. Non-competitive division for walkers at 6:45
